Stealth – when Top Gun met A.I.

Stealth – when Top Gun met A.I.

There have been many movies about Artificial Intelligence lately. Most of them pretty good actually, generally quite thought provoking. Especially for those of us who regularly talk to our phones and rely on cloud services for daily stuff. Close to home as they say. But none of them were fun.

In the good old days, if you wanted character in a plane, you painted a mouth on it!

So here are three hitech warplanes who get a new team-mate. An all singing, all dancing, all watching and listening plane that learns on its own. If you know very little about drones, you might think it is somehow close to reality. If you know anything about military protocol you will not. But that isn’t the point.

Everyone says “Top Gun” when you speak about plane movies, but by the end, this is more like “ET” meeting the “Iron Eagle” trilogy. Epic stuff. People smile at the right time, salute, explode and laugh just when they should be. Well made movie. For its kind. As long as you don’t try and relate anything you see to anything in the real world, geography, politics or technology. They even threw some romance in for good measure.

This is not for everyone. If I wasn’t in the right mood, it wouldn’t even be for me.
